“…Age and educational level were also significant socioeconomic factors of HIV testing, similarly to other studies (Fernández et al, 2005;Haile et al, 2007). Higher education has been positively associated with HIV knowledge, awareness of availability of health services and HIV testing (Burns et al, 2005;Dias et al, 2004;Stolte et al, 2003;Wong et al, 2004).…”

“…44,47 The gender differences may be related to women having more frequent health care encounters, including family planning or antenatal care visits, that offer HIV screening. 52 Late diagnosis was more common among non-Hispanic blacks, Hispanics, and those in the ''other'' race/ethnic group in urban but not in rural areas. Other population-based studies conducted during the last 10 years, found Hispanic ethnicity to be associated with late diagnosis.…”

“…41,42,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59] Having an undocumented immigration status was associated with not ever being tested for HIV in a study in South Flordia. 52 Reasons identified in other studies for foreign birth being associated with delayed diagnosis include stigma, 56,60,61 language barriers, 58,61 and less knowledge about HIV. 56,61 Late HIV/AIDS diagnosis in urban areas was associated with heterosexual compared with MSM and IDU modes of HIV transmission.…”

The purpose of this retrospective cohort study was to identify individual-level demographic and communitylevel socioeconomic and health care resource factors associated with late diagnosis of HIV in rural and urban areas of Florida. Multilevel modeling was conducted with linked 2007-2011 Florida HIV surveillance, American Community Survey, Area Health Resource File, and state counseling and testing data. Late diagnosis (defined as AIDS diagnosis within 3 months of HIV diagnosis) was more common in rural than urban areas (35.8% vs. 27.4%) ( p < 0.0001). This difference persisted after controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, HIV transmission mode, country of birth, and diagnosis year (adjusted OR 1.39; 95% CI 1.17-1.66). In rural areas, older age and male sex were associated with late HIV diagnosis; zip code-level socioeconomic and county level health care resource variables were not associated with late diagnosis in rural areas. In urban areas only, Hispanic and non-Hispanic black race/ethnicity, foreign birth, and heterosexual mode of transmission were additionally associated with late HIV diagnosis. These findings suggest that, in rural areas, enhanced efforts are needed to target older individuals and men in screening programs and that studies of psychosocial and structural barriers to HIV testing in rural and urban areas be pursued.

not receive prevention services. HIV testing of pregnant women is considered to be one of the key strategies for preventing mother-to-child-transmission of HIV, but HIV testing rates among pregnant women in various countries remain suboptimal. Understanding the factors relating to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy is critical for developing strategies to increase HIV testing rates among pregnant women. Extensive research points to various factors relating to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy, and various recommendations aimed at improving testing rates among pregnant women have been suggested based on the research. In light of the goals set by the United Nations to reduce the rate of infants infected with HIV, it is necessary to summarize what is currently known regarding factors related to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy. The purpose of this review is therefore to examine factors related to women's willingness to be tested for HIV during pregnancy, and to summarize recommendations for practice and further research. Core tip: The willingness of women to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) during pregnancy is a complex phenomenon. There is frequent inconsistence in research results; however, studies have shown that certain major factors are steadily identified over time as associated with the phenomenon. Numerous factors related to pregnant women's willingness to be tested suggest multiple possible interventions to maximize HIV testing efficiency and increase testing rates. There is a need in further research of the phenomenon, as the majority of the research literature focuses on sub-Saharan Africa.Women's willingness to be tested for human immunodeficiency virus during pregnancy: A review Ben-Natan M, Hazanov Y.

Predictors of HIV Testing and Intention to Test Among Hispanic Farmworkers in South Florida

Abstract: Our findings highlight the importance of routinely offering HIV testing to sexually active individuals in high HIV prevalence areas. They also suggest the need to make testing more accessible to migrant and seasonal farmworkers.
